A mayor’s inspirational story of a Midwest city that has become nothing less than a blueprint for the future of American renewal.
Once described by the Washington Post as “the most interesting mayor you’ve never heard of,” Pete Buttigieg, the thirty-six-year-old Democratic mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has improbably emerged as one of the nation’s most visionary politicians. First elected in 2011, Buttigieg left a successful business career to move back to his hometown, previously tagged by Newsweek as a “dying city,” because the industrial Midwest beckoned as a challenge to the McKinsey-trained Harvard graduate. Whether meeting with city residents on middle-school basketball courts, reclaiming abandoned houses, confronting gun violence, or attracting high-tech industry, Buttigieg has transformed South Bend into a shining model of urban reinvention.
While Washington reels with scandal, Shortest Way Home interweaves two once-unthinkable success stories: that of an Afghanistan veteran who came out and found love and acceptance, all while in office, and that of a Rust Belt city so thoroughly transformed that it shatters the way we view America’s so-called flyover country.
Pete Buttigieg, born in Indiana in 1982, is currently serving his second term as mayor of South Bend. A dynamic national lecturer and TEDx speaker, as well as a Rhodes Scholar and Navy veteran, Buttigieg was educated at Harvard and Oxford. He and his husband, Chasten Glezman, live in South Bend, Indiana.
基本上在campaign trail上说的都有在书里提到,也是第一次看到有人对Make America Great Again有力的反驳。在川普随意简化问题的时候,他有能力把很多nuance解释清楚。祝他好运吧。
评分memoir of a presidential candidate after all. "Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way around is the shortest way home."
评分工整的命题作文,有读简历的感觉。Buttigieg还是资历太浅了,哪怕对他的能力和理性有200%的信任(会说包括Arab在内至少六门语言诶!),但没有联邦层面的经验还是太大的短板。but again, no one seems to care these days
评分#投名状式的竞选自传,规整流畅的藤校议论文,该说什么,不说什么都很清楚。像前任大统领一样,懂得修辞学的重要(相比之下,沃伦还是太实在了)。走的大致是马克龙路线,又能顾及信仰和族群政治,应会在初选发挥得不错。有趣之处不在作者(在某Yard里扔块石头都能砸伤两位类似的),而在于民主党为什么从史蒂文森开始,对此类候选人乐此不疲。
评分Pete for President
